Tawny Owl and the Birds of Prey.
January 26, 2011, 1 comments
With a lead singer whom I bet has the ability spellbind their audience with his deep, almost Hayden Thorpe of Wild Beasts -like vocals (thanks to Listen Before You Buy for making me recognize this), Tawny Owl and the Birds of Prey is a UK-based band of which I think we will hear more about in the future. The garage poppy sound is dominating their soundscape, giving us the impression of a good old bedroom recorded session — but as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t really affect the outcome in a negative way, especially not when dealing with such bedroom pop loving maniacs as ourselves.
With that being said, don’t you even dare to stop listening to the track below before you’ve heard the dramatic and even slightly ‘psychedelic’ bridge suddenly coming out of nowhere, telling us that they’re certainly not afraid of experimenting within their music. Indeed, the breakout itself brings the sound to a whole new level, before it is suddenly shattered into pieces and everything returns to its original peace and order. However, I almost wish Jack would use his voice even louder and more dominating in a way, cause this guy is definitely blessed with a mouth of gold.
Stay tuned for a limited edition vinyl to be released in a few months on NR1 records, and don’t forget to head over to their bandcamp for a couple of free tracks to spice up your otherwise overloaded iTunes library.
